Richard and Work

So Richard loves his new job, and he is so good at it! He has already caught an error the other guy made, fixed paper work and organized the clinic. He is working nights and he said it gets a little boring. There is also a gym that he can work out on so he has been working with the fire guys.

He is working this temp job at Chevron Refinery and when that is over he will work at a off site clinic day shift, but Chevron has already offered him a job on their fire team, and while he is working in the clinic the fire captain told him he can participate in the fires and got him all suited up and all his own gear. It is a lot to take in with all of these job opportunities happening at once, a lot to ponder and think about. The clinic has also offered to put him through Paramedic school but he has to work two years for the company, which isn't bad.

Me and Richards mom Debi are trying to convince Richard that he has a gift with medicine and he should expound on that any way he wants. But he is a boy and loves the the "rush" of fire and being a medic. In fact he told me he got "blue balls" form work the other night because they had a fire and Richard rushed over got all suited, got there and it was put out. He was so sad he did not get to play with fire. Oh boy if our kids get his excitement with fire we are going to need a nice insurance plan!
